Special Considerations in Pediatric Imaging
▪ Pediatric Radiology As a Potential Career Most pediatric radiologists are very happy with both their jobs and career choice. There are a number of attractive aspects about pediatric radiology….
Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction Contrast agents used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be either endogenous or exogenous. The most common type of endogenous contrast-enhanced MRI is arterial spin labeling (ASL) techniques, which…
Imaging Principles in Computed Tomography
Computed tomography (CT) has grown quickly from an innovative specialized tool to a mainstay of medicine in every healthcare setting. Hospitals, outpatient clinics, and physician offices find CT to be…
Spinal Trauma
Imaging studies play a central role in the diagnosis of spinal trauma. The biomechanics, natural history, and treatment methods differ significantly in cervical and thoracolumbar injuries and are therefore addressed…
Imaging Principles in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is based on spatially encoding a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal. Therefore an understanding of the basics of NMR is critical for understanding MRI, and this…
Cerebral Aneurysms and Cerebrovascular Malformations
Cerebral Aneurysms Incidence and Natural History The incidence of a cerebral aneurysm in the general population is 0.5% to 5%. Women more commonly harbor a cerebral aneurysm than men, and…
Imaging Principles in Magnetic Resonance Angiography
Introduction Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) enables noninvasive assessment of vascular disease in both the arterial and venous circulation. Owing to the availability of volumetric data sets without the need for…
